Stones charge $12m a party
From The Sunday Times
March 24, 2003
The Rolling Stones have confirmed their reputation as the world's greatest party animals.
They are the No 1 attraction for ageing billionaires seeking entertainment at their birthday bashes, a survey published at the weekend says.
Mick Jagger, a famously hardheaded business negotiator, charged David Bonderman, a Texan billionaire and chairman of Ryanair, �4.4 million ($11.65 million) to play for 400 guests at his 60th birthday party in Las Vegas last November.
A source close to the band revealed last week the Stones have increased their private hire rate to �5 million since news of the 40-minute session at the Hard Rock hotel and casino leaked out.
Mr Bonderman, a former university lecturer who built a �6 billion fortune by buying nearly bankrupt companies and making them profit able, was said to be delighted with the show, which also featured the comedian Robin Williams as a �600,000 warm-up man.
Jagger and his band are not the only leading group to perform at private functions, according to the 2003 Rock's Richest List published by US music magazine Rolling Stone.
Tickets for the latest farewell tour by the Eagles this summer may cost �100, but for �3 million the band will perform in private. "I've done the Eagles," a party arranger told Rolling Stone. "They'll do a bar mitzvah if the money is right."
Celine Dion costs �2.5 million. Paul McCartney, named by Rolling Stone as the wealthiest rock performer in the world after he earned �46 million last year alone, can afford to offer discounts on his private concerts. Last month the financier husband of Wendy Whitworth paid just �600,000 to hear McCartney play 19 songs at her 50th birthday party.
Even the most anti-establishment rockers are happy to sing for the plutocracy: according to Rolling Stone, Snoop Dogg, the rapper, and Bob Dylan have both put aside old prejudices to make some cash.
>>ironic, how we were discussing a fantasy rocks off party with the stones as the entertainmenet. can we come up with this chunk of change?

I don't know Jaxx...there's 1600+ registered posters here...for at least $7000 a piece...
Do you think we could qualify for a discounted rate? |

Long time ago but by then the amount was only $7,000,000 for that gig, maybe the $12M is the new rate because of the additional security and doctors |

Maybe they mis-interpreted the recent inflation figures . |

Voodoo, do you think that this price includes naked and wicked nurses all around the place? What mark of Scotch Whisky they would give to us? Caviar? Huh? LOL |

I'll pitch in for the naked and wicked nurses.
That's the least I can do.
And never let it be said that I didn't do the least that I could! |

I think we should do what Lorne Michaels (sp?) did on Saturday Night Live for the Beatles reunion. We should offer them $5,000.00 and see what they say. We could say that we drained the coffers of our cyber community at Rocks Off but that we,re willing to make the sacrifice just for them.

for that kind of cash you can call the openers. as former "joisey girl" your choice of location is a-ok with me and convenient as well for our european friends. however, dice clay is ok, but ac/dc? can't we do better than that? i'd vote for RATDOG as the opener to warm us up with r&b as well as bluez. then weir can come on and accompany the stones on red rooster, around and around and not fade away.

Good news, a quick search of the net and I've found dozens of stripping nurses. Not advertised as wicked -- but many are strip blackjack dealers!!
Sounds promising!!!
Adds new meaning to "dealer busted"....
|
|
J.J.Flash |
Ok Nanker, thanks. Find out the Some Girls...... I trust in your taste, so chose some young nurses. Maybe Liv Tyler is a good example (model) to your research! |

with all the Hot Rocks Off women that will be attending, you won't need your "Stripped Companions"..altho on second thought it appears y'all need someone you can cream on. IMO Rocks Off women are too classy to show all that skin to all you little red droolsters looking for a "shot" of salvation.

Nanky, save your money. I'm sure there are enough of us RO ladies that would be more than willing to play the part...not naked, of course. Hand out some rectal thermometers and I'll show ya wicked!
|
|
J.J.Flash |
I'll leave this "hot details" for you Nanker. As the opener band nothing would be better than AC/DC. We could perform some songs, I mean, the "weekend" guitar players here would play some numbers (the band would be called as Rocks Off - The Weekend band) . I could play as opener Johnny B. Goode and Jumpin' Jack Flash.
About drinks, J. Walker Gold and a lot of cold beer. Caviar, what do you think?
Nanker, keep workin' on your hunt for nurses............. let me know your progress!
Anyone knows if JB will pay at least 2/3 of the price? |

Hey Parmeda, I'm also interested on you Rock Off ladies to perform a strip show and make us HAPPY. I'm salivating like a pavlog dog............ |

Aside from postal workers with handguns, the thought of any of you RO women wielding rectal thermometers is about as frightening an image as I can conjure up!
What medical visionary decided that the temperature of my rectum is indicative of my health any more than my mouth or ear or armpit? I guess it could be worse. The diameter of the average rectal thermometer could be 6 inches! And thank god sasca didn't invent the penile thermometer -- or if he did, that it never caught on!
No, I think I'll stick with hired help so you ladies (and we gentlemen) can enjoy the show! |
